SADIO MANE will quit Liverpool to join Real Madrid, according to Momo Sissoko – while Mohamed Salah’s exit could be GOOD for the Reds.
The former Kop midfielder has suggested Real will finally land at least one of their targets.

Salah and Mane – both amongst the top ten most-valuable players in the world – have been on Zinedine Zidane’s radar since last summer and could leave if they win their first-ever Premier League.
Having already clinched the Champions League in 2019, there would be little else for Liverpool’s stars to win should they claim the Premier League crown this term.
The Reds are 25 points clear at the top of the league with just nine games to play – needing just two wins to secure the title.
But that could mean Salah and Mane – particularly the latter – could join Real Madrid this summer.
SMART REDS
Sissoko told EuropaCalcio: “I see Mane at Real Madrid [more than Salah].
“He [Mane] has the characteristics Zidane wants… I think Mane will go to Real Madrid.
“I don’t know if Salah will continue at Liverpool. But if he left, his departure could be good for the team.
“Liverpool are very smart and would know how to replace him.”
Meanwhile, ex-Juventus midfielder Sissoko has had his say on the future of Manchester United star Paul Pogba.
Sissoko added: “I know Zidane loves Pogba. But he would like to return to Juventus.
“That though doesn’t depend on Pogba, but also on Manchester United, as he has a contract until 2021.
“I think Paul needs to find a team that makes him feel important.”
